Yahoo Lifestyle Parents And Non-Parents Are Sharing Their Two Cents After Ayesha Curry Said That Her And Steph Curry’s Marriage Always Comes Before Their Kids
We all know that Ayesha and Steph Curry have been married for a looong time now.
The pair tied the knot in 2011, and have since welcomed four children: Riley, 12, Ryan, 9, Canon, 6, and Caius, 9 months.
Steph and Ayesha have talked openly about their long-term marriage numerous times over the years. And last week was no different, with Ayesha revealing at her brand Sweet July’s recent California pop-up that she and Steph always prioritize their marriage over their kids.
“I think for us, our relationship always comes first. Then we're parents,” she told People. “And that works for us because then you have two happy people raising the kids in the house. So the family sector in our lives always comes first.”
“And then honestly, it's just surrounding ourselves with people that are smarter than us and know what they're doing and can make the things run. And they allow us the space to be creative and they allow us the space to truly show up however we choose to. And I think that's what's really worked for us,” she added.
Ayesha’s comments quickly went viral on social media, with many users — parents and non-parents — sharing their two cents. Some people strongly disagreed, arguing that it’s “dangerous” to encourage prioritizing a marriage over “your own flesh and blood.”
“I’ll forever believe this is such dangerous rhetoric because ain’t no way you should put any relationships before CHILDREN, your own flesh and blood,” one tweet read. “I would never in my life put my partner over my kids,” said another.
“im not putting nobody before my kid,” one more user said.
On the flip side, several users argued that Ayesha is totally right. “Yall don’t understand when you put your marriage first your kids will thrive regardless because the relationship is healthy and you both prioritize your kids,” someone wrote. “If they’re not good, then the kids will be exposed to toxicity. What’s not clicking?” another person added.
Meanwhile, others agreed that there needs to be a “balance.” One tweet read, “I think its about balance more than anything.. society wants us to choose sides and be absolute, but real harmony comes when theres healthy balance between loved ones... Its not healthy to ALWAYS prioritize one person over another in your immediate families.”
“Should be a balance really no before and after just level playing field what you put in the kids you put in the marriage and vice versa. You shouldn’t feel like you don’t know your partner and the marriage is shit but same way your kids should feel they are a priority,” someone echoed.
